At the junket for "Drop," Christopher Landon's new high-tech, Hitchcockian thriller about a single mom (played by "White Lotus" breakout Meghann Fahy) who goes on a date with a handsome stranger ("1923's" Brandon Sklenar) and gets harassed by someone airdropping her threatening messages,

Christopher Landon is a master at making audiences vacillate between gut-wrenching terror and gut-busting laughter. That’s certainly true of the director’s latest film, “Drop,” which stars “White Lotus” alum Meghann Fahy as a single mother who’s tormented by threatening AirDrop messages while on a first date.
